In the Land of Dead Horses

The Dead Hold No Love for the Living
In the Land of Dead Horses tells the story of Texas Ranger Jewel T. Lightfoot's pursuit of a resurrected horror from another age--a manifestation of the Mayan god of darkness, unearthed from its ancient crypt in the wastelands of the Chihuahuan Desert and set loose to kill again.

Lightfoot is aided in his quest by an aging silver miner named Ernesto Zavala and his grandson Antonio, a teenaged firebrand who longs to free his people from the rule of Porfirio Diaz's corrupt Mexican government. Together these unlikely heroes face off against a sinister German academic, a trio of religious fanatics who want to restore the glory of the Mayan empire, and a horror from the depths of history that grows stronger with each setting sun.

Join Jewel Lightfoot in what Kirkus Reviews calls "a paranormal whodunit that offers a gripping battle between good and evil." But be careful: Not everyone who rides out of Austin in the fall of 1908 is going to make it back alive.
